Looks Painful To Watch


they were much better together in Mr & Mrs Smith. The trailer alone makes me cringe. Her range is limited. Always forceful, on the edge, same mannerisms as in GIA. I don't see myself spending money to watch this movie. And as far as Cleopatra goes...she is no Luz Taylor and would do good to stop the obvious comparisons. Not impressed at all.

I agree completely.

Agree. I want to like this film, because I like her, and many of her films in which she acted, and I love France, and the underlying idea behind the story.

I just don't see - in the trailer - much of any acting going on. Then again, some of my favorite films have ZERO acting, so I'll wait and see how the reviews stack up.

But not optimistic.

From what I've seen, the cinematography looks absolutely stunning.

exactly to many critics not enough love - its very slow moving and i guess when you quiet yourself down light a spliff - it comes together nicely - forget about who they are in the real world and just imagine

I don't think Angie wants to be "Luz Taylor", she wanted a version of Cleo that would be completely different.

As for BTS, it looks very interesting, and I'll definitely be there. The chemistry between Brad and Angie is even stronger now, 11 years later, than it was in MAMS.

Whatever the talent involved, I agree: why on earth would anyone want to sit through a film that looks to be about nothing but misery and ennui?

reply

Absolutely. Misery isn't entertainment. The 'content' page indicates ongoing cursing with 'F' words. I could just sit on my balcony and watch the tubby couple in the 'income-subsidized' building opposite mine. Save 20$, plus the price of popcorn. 😅😒😞

Movies cost $20 where you live? They didn't even cost that much when I lived in Los Angeles. You have my sympathies.

reply

Films can be about more than just 'entertainment', though... Whether THIS is, is another matter, but it's not always the only goal... If you want popcorn, then you stick to blockbusters.

The couple in this film is as far as any 'income-subsidized' couple living in your neighborhood. They are wealthy, refined, and don't display their emotions in public. But if your view outside your window is an 'income-subsidized' building, I suggest you watch this movie, as the gorgeous Malta scenery is as different a view as you can get.

IMHO it looks pretty interesting & I am glad they don't give away the entire plot line in the trailer

That's because there's hardly a plot to begin with. Mostly it's just Angelina looking depressed and Brad acting like a miserable drunk. Not exactly a fun film to watch.

But yes, I do agree.

reply

Yep nothing at all to give away.
I know that now lol
When I wrote that I hadn't seen the film and thought (well hoped) it was going to have a plot.

As a renaissance chick, I paint, write, and sing loudly off-key.

I just opened the trailer and typed this at the same time, glanced there and here and I saw her huge mouth, I closed the trailer.

Cleopatra? She will be Cleopatra in a movie? (I am an A.J hater, I usually don't go here to read or to post).

She looks too tired everywhere and everywhere, look at her what do people think of? A sick skeleton.
